Â
When the long, warm sunny days finally arrive, many of us are eager to spend more time outside. But just as it's important to take extra care of your skin to shield it from harmful UV rays, your hair can also benefit from a bit of extra TLC during this season. Here are some tips to help you keep your hair healthy all summer long.Â
Â
1. Choose a gentle shampooÂ
Â
Sun, chlorine and salt water can all take a toll on our hair, so using aÂ
gentle shampoo with great cleansing properties will help you to removeÂ
build-up without leaving your hair feeling dry. The Klorane Ultra-GentleÂ
Shampoo with Oat and the Kerastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste GentleÂ
Shampoo are both great options to consider.Â
Â
2. Use a nourishing conditionerÂ
Â
Most hair types can benefit from a nourishing conditioner during the summerÂ
season. After gently shampooing your hair, reach for a conditioner that'sÂ
formulated with hydrating and nourishing ingredients to combat any dryness.Â
Â
The Kerastase Resistance Fondant Extentioniste has a creamy formulationÂ
which contains maleic acid and ceramides to improve strength and elasticity,Â
replenish lost moisture, and leave your hair feeling soft, supple andÂ
healthy.Â
Â
3. Incorporate leave-in products into your hair care routineÂ
Â
If you're prone to dryness or frizz, it can be a great idea to incorporate aÂ
leave-in conditioner into your routine throughout the summer months. SlatherÂ
your wet hair with a leave-in cream conditioner, which will soak into yourÂ
strands to deeply nourish. It may also offer extra protection for your hair,Â
as your strands will be less likely to absorb contaminants such as salt andÂ
chlorine.Â
Â
The Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector is the product that catapulted the brand toÂ
fame and remains one of their best-selling products. When applied to dampÂ
hair, this restorative leave-in product protects the structure of the hair,Â
repairs damage, and improves hair strength.Â
Â
4. Avoid using too much heatÂ
Â
Limiting your use of hair dryers and hot tools is something your hair willÂ
appreciate, as it's already having to deal with heat from the sun every day.Â
If you're used to heat styling your hair, putting your favourite tools awayÂ
isn't always easy, however hair takes much less time to air dry during theÂ
warmer temperatures, and this simple change will really help to minimiseÂ
damage that often occurs during summer.Â
Â
Whenever you do use heat on your hair, always apply a heat protector toÂ
shield from unnecessary damage. There are many high quality heat protectorsÂ
available, including the Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique, which hasÂ
heat activated properties and ingredients which rebuild and strengthen hairÂ
from the inside out.Â
Â
5. Treat yourself to a great hair maskÂ
Â
Incorporating a hair mask into your weekly hair care routine can have aÂ
variety of different benefits, including promoting stronger, more resilientÂ
hair. Hair masks also offer lasting hydration and are often formulated withÂ
restorative ingredients to breathe life and vitality back into your locks.Â
Â
The Kerastase Masque Force Architecte is formulated with strengtheningÂ
ingredients designed to reconstruct hair that needs some extra TLC. IdealÂ
for dry and sun-damaged hair, this mask will leave your hair feeling renewedÂ
and revived.Â
